Re: Maroon bells conditions??
Haven't been up there but it looks like the area got 4-6" in the past few days with more expected. I would expect anywhere between that and a foot up above 13k on any route.
It was apparently dumping on aspen highlands earlier today

You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know. - Rene Daumal

My brother up at elk camp gondola today. They got about 6 inches today. He said it was snowing down in Snowmass today when he left work.

Re: Maroon bells conditions??
I was at the Bells this afternoon shooting Fall pictures. The peaks were only marginally visible as the area was entirely socked in most of the time with thick rolling clouds. At the parking lot, there were several inches of slushy snow. The peaks are under a solid blanket of fresh snow.

Re: Maroon bells conditions??
That picture is pretty amazing. I was up there in with some friends in mid August, and there was absolutely no snow, which is completely understandable. Snow really makes 14ers look beautiful.
